Saving civilian lives AND getting the oil. Its both, not one or the other.
We dont have money to waste charging into all the worlds conflicts where there is nothing at all to gain.

The United Kingdom should be applying MORE pressure on the Middle East to intervene in the Libyan crises.
because the african union would flip out. they scream colonialism as soon a white guy sets foot in their region, unless they are a tourist.
Right - we wanted to intervene in those countries but were afraid of what the African Union would say.
You are half right.
The people who run the world do not give a toss about civilian life (or indeed military life) - they care about money and power. Nothing else matters. They don't care about you, me, Libyan civilians, African civilians, anybody but themselves and their elitist friends.
Who gives a monkeys about the Ivory coast!
The Muslim nations flipped out at the western presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, it didn't bother us then.
Ghana, Guinea, Brukina, Liberia and mali perhaps?
The wider community?
People living in the Ivory Coast?
That is open to some debate.
Saddam had no real interest in rolling about killing everybody everyday.
Even the original gassing of the Kurds was initially blamed mainly on Iran.
We should wash our hands of this asap.
Westerners making the poor dictators conform 
. You can't do what you want, even if you're in charge of a country. Depressing.
tbh I don't even care about these supposed civillian massacres, I'm sure there are plenty or other places that are much worse. I could understand thinking about oil, as after all a price spike has big implications for the UK and others, but cowardly politicians are just trying to pass the intervention off as a humanitarian thing. Disgraceful.

Love it or loathe it Westminster's foreign policy is going to be the end of itself.
You can't continually split a country like this over the issue of war and expect no long term results or problems from that.
Populace can suffer war fatigue as well even when it is not on our shores.
